Chandrayaan -I 's succeess continues as a Nasa payload on board has revealed some aspect's of moon's surface through Moon Mineralogy Mapper that was inaugurated on 22nd November 2008. Nasa says the details beamed by the M3 throws light on changes in the rock and mineral composition of the moon and also abundance of iron-bearing minerals such as pyroxene. M3 was the the first instrument to provide highly uniform imaging of the lunar surface and it also provides us with compositional information across the moon.
